Video and photo rendering work.3D animation stuff as well

Don't quite understand your last sentence.

Lazy to explain to you

Resolution of the monitor,pixel count of your source and viewing distance are intricate stuff.A bit tricky to explain though...

To be honest, the ideal size of a 1080p resolution should be at least 32-37" because this is where the pixels are at their optimum size.1080p monitors ranging from 15" to 24" are too cramped up with small and tiny pixels which have no place to breathe.Thus the bigger you go up until 27" or so,you will get to see a clearer picture because "the pixels aren't so cramped up"

Another point here, if you're viewing video content from let's say 6 feet away(most likely),you will not find any difference watching from a 720p or a 1080p video from a 1080p monitor.This is due to such a small sized monitor.

My own personal experience.I'm using a Dell Studio XPS 16 with 1080p screen.I view my 1080p content and 720p content at around 6 feet away,i couldn't differentiate between HD and Full HD.But if i view from very close by let's say 1 feet away,then i can easily tell the difference.This shows that viewing distance is a very important factor

The 24" 1080p will still be sharper because it can effectively display 2million pixels as compared to the 1.3m pixels by the 1280x1024 monitor

Depending on the viewing distance,from around 5-6 feet,for sure the 63" LCD will look so pixelated while the 21.5 is still crisp and clear!But when at a huge distance like 4-5m ,both will look practically the same.*thinks* the 21.5 might look clearer though...gotta check out yourself ya

That is why the bigger you go , you need to increase your viewing distance(applicable for TV sizes from 32"++)

Again, the 24" 1080p monitor will still look sharper because it can display 2 million pixels.In picture clarity, number of pixels is the most important factor besides viewing distance, size of screen and ratio between source and display(perfect ratio of 1:1 is always desired)

Yes, it will look sharper ONLY if you come close enough to notice it.Else, from 4-5 feet away, it's totally negligible.Again no worries lar if you wanna buy up to 27"++ 1080p monitor,sitting 5-6 feet away, i highly doubt you can see any pixelation

I guess you're interested to get a monitor?How much is your budget then other forumers can help you with model suggestions
